Precursor: 11th Utah Film Critics (2012)
A surprising split in Best Film/Best Director. The top prize went to Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, but it was a shock win by Wes Anderson for Moonrise Kingdom that kept Bigelow’s film from claiming a third award (star Jessica Chastain tied with Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress). Award Tallies (2) Zero Dark Thirty The…

Precursor: 4th Indiana Film Critics (2012)
Announced on December 17, 2012, but I didn’t find them until today. These are probably the most eclectic and interesting bunch of selections so far this precursor season. Sure the acting awards were pretty standard, but Best Film, the writing awards and Foreign Film were all fascinating choices. Award Tallies (2) Lincoln, Safety Not Guaranteed…

Trailer Watch: Movie 43
I’m not sure where they get the title from, but I’m sure there are at least 43 reasons in the film why it won’t be as funny as they think it will be. Movie 43 Plot Summary: A series of cinematic vignettes exploring humor in outlandish and provocative ways. Release Date: January 25, 2013 Poster…

Precursor: 16th Florida Film Critics (2012)
Florida seems to have loved Argo more than any other group has so far. Ben Affleck’s film picked up the awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, a strong sign. The other categories were won by films that had triumphed in other venues with the exception of Best Documentary which went to…

Precursor: 8th Austin Film Critics (2012)
The Austin Film Critics have spread their love around, with only The Master garnering more than one award, picking up prizes for Director, Actor and Cinematography. Apart from their selection of Cloud Atlas for Best Score (not a bizarre choice by any means), the group largely picked items that other groups had already picked. Award…
